Been into anime since 1980 with UFO Robo GRENDIZER, re-spelled "Grandizer" that was apart of the Force Five series (Unrelated 70s anime shows put together as an ensemble show). Actual fandom began in 1991 when I was 13, and I enjoy everything from the 1970s to current anime, though I'm somewhat picky about what I watch. I still prefer to own physical media when it comes to anime and movies, so I'm still collecting DVDs, Bluray, and occasional VHS. Named my daughter Fyana, after the Perfect Soldier in the 1983 anime Armored Trooper VOTOMS, who's also into anime along with my son Jake. I was a BMXer until 2022 and have moved onto Mountain Biking now. Defensive Combat & Cowboy Action Shooter. Retired Private Contractor Security Force Protection Officer of 14.4 years. As of April 2022 I'm back in the "outside the domicile" workforce again, and am a *Driver, ferrying railroad workers around TX in Minivans on call 24hrs a day on the days I work. I love to drive, so this may be the perfect job for me now.
Classic / Retro Gamer who's consoles of choice are still the 16-Bit SEGA MEGA DRIVE (Genesis) and Atari 2600, both of which still have video games being made for them. I do however, have a STEAM account with about 100 or so games but stopped modern gaming after PS3. YEOSH... I got 30 years worth of "Watched / Completed" Anime to list *LOL*

I should just watch the Grendizer anime too lol.
The practical events are hard to find, but are gaining popularity. Keep an eye out and let me know if you find any opportunities, I'd like to hear your impression. If you can't find anything else, consider USPSA. Those matches should be easier to find locally because they don't require complicated ranges with a ton of space. See if the range has an "intro to competition" type course, or just go and observe for free.
My general advice is to play by the rules, but don't focus on them. Do what makes sense for what you want to practice. If you want to shoot with a red dot and a weapon light in USPSA, tell the rangemaster you aren't ranked and don't care about score. He'll put you in the right division so the rules are satisfied and you can do as you please. As you may know from CAS, every affiliated match has a rulebook that is published and free on the web, so everything you could possibly need to know is also there. Oh, and if at all possible record your stages! Seeing your performance, critiquing it, and working corrections into your training regimen is possibly the quickest way to improve. If you don't have a friend or family to hold the camera, one of your squadmates for the match should be happy to accommodate.
